USCB Senior Student Art Exhibition

April 19, BEAUFORT, S.C. –

The Sea Islands Center Gallery at the University of South Carolina Beaufort is pleased
to present Untitled 18, an exhibition featuring the work of nine graduating Department of Fine Arts students.
The exhibition will be on view in the Sea Islands Center Gallery from April 30 – May
2, 2018.

The reception will be held on Wednesday, May 2, from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m. Artist talks
will begin at 6:30 p.m. Each artist will present their work in a lightning style format,
which will move around the gallery space.

Artwork being shown includes: the surreal photographs of Abbey Long, some of which
include textures and objects superimposed onto the body or within the figure; illustrative
figurative paintings and drawings by Eva Zzygmuntowicz created in a delicate Pop style;
colorful digitially manipulated images of abstracted landscape paintings by Holli
Coble-Nunn, and detailed hand-painted engravings of narrative scenes by Jeremiah Buoy.

Micalah Locke deals with the subject of the female body in her linoleum and solar
prints; Bradley Stanley focuses our attention on details of nature and life in his
photographs and Natalie Howden creates clay and mixed media sculptures based on books
that were influential to her as a child.

Mixed media paintings and an animation are created by Nicholas Bell, which feature
a storyline centered around a fox chase through a forest, and Lizanna Stone displays
colored pencil drawings of creatures that stare out at the viewer within a landscape
and bordered frame.

The exhibition is currently on view at the Center for the Fine Arts at the University
of South Carolina. Work will be moved to the Sea Islands Center Gallery, where it
will be on display from April 30 - May 2, 2018. The gallery is located at 1106 Carteret
St. in Beaufort, SC.
